Hi guys, great work!

I discovered Bootsnote and I think it could be the definitive note taking app!

I think a lot of issues can be closed immediately by using an external code editor instead of edit inside Bootsnote.
Having a button to automatically lunch the editor and passing the current note could be a solution to some requests. We don't need to compete with feature-rich IDE like VisualstudioCode, Atom, Sublime etc.

Personally I'm a heavy Zim users, looking around to move to bootsnote completly.

I do not quite understand your feature request. Can you give an example where opening the note in an external code editor will help?

For example being able to move up & down a line of text through the ALT + arrows key like in VS Code (Very useful if you need to order lists). More about features like this here https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_basic-editing.
Suppose I want to write with autocompletion and error-correction in a language not supported by . Boostnote. if I can use an external editor of my choice, the problem is solved :)
There are tons of functionalities like the one above in others editors. I would not invest time in implementing stuff like this but simply use them in combination with Boostnote.

Try to look at the Joplin note for an inspiration they have it.
